Free Instagram Carousel Templates
Instagram templates are ready-made carousel designs you fill with your own words, sized 1080 × 1350 px (4:5) for the feed.
Portrait 4:5 swipe posts for tutorials, product showcases, and creator education, with fixed typography, consistent brand colors, and instant PNG downloads.
An Instagram carousel is a single feed post with up to 20 photos or videos that people swipe through. Carousels are the format Instagram users save most: step-by-step tutorials, tool roundups, product walkthroughs, and “what I learned” stories all fit naturally.
The templates below are chosen for the Instagram feed: bold covers, phone-screen showcases, step cards, and follow/save closers. Each one uses the 4:5 portrait canvas (1080×1350px), which takes up more of the screen than a square post.
- Start from a proven layout instead of a blank canvas.
- Every slide stays the same size and style.
- Edit text and colors, then export.

How to post an Instagram carousel
- 1
Choose a template below, or ask your Agent for an Instagram slideshow with EasySociable.
- 2
Write a cover that names the payoff, 5–8 content slides, and a last slide that asks for a save or follow.
- 3
Review in Studio; swap images or fix line breaks without moving the layout.
- 4
Download the PNG pack (all slides in 1080×1350).
- 5
In Instagram, tap +, choose Post, tap “Select multiple”, and pick the slides in order.
- 6
Add a caption that repeats the hook, add alt text if you like, and share.
Instagram carousel best practices
Hook on slide 1
Lead with a number or a bold claim (“9 apps that replaced my to-do list”). Keep the cover readable as a small grid tile.
Pace for saves
One step, tip, or screenshot per slide. Readers save carousels they want to come back to, so make each slide useful on its own.
Show, then tell
Phone screenshots and product shots stop the scroll; a one-line caption on the slide explains why it matters.
End with a save or follow ask
A dedicated closing slide (“Save this for later”) consistently does better than a CTA buried in the caption.
Example prompts for your Agent
Create an 8-slide Instagram carousel “7 free apps every freelancer should have”: a cover with the number, one app per slide with a screenshot slot and one-line benefit, and a save-for-later closer.
Turn my recipe notes into an Instagram carousel in 4:5: cover photo with the dish name, ingredient slide, four step slides, and a follow CTA.
Make a before/after Instagram carousel for my portfolio redesign: cover, three before/after pairs, one result slide, and a DM-me CTA, using my saved brand colors.
